Jean Shin is the next contemporary artist to transform the Museum’s first floor sloping gallery with a new site-specific commission. For her installation at the Carter, Shin will create a textile-based portrait of the Museum, through clothing items donated by the Carter’s employees and shape these elements into a large-scale wall mural with immersive hanging elements that will activate the gallery walls and ceiling.
The Carter houses one of the great collections of American art, from historical landscapes captured on canvas to city streets seen through the lens of a camera. We’re regularly changing out these works, so each time you visit, you know you’ll encounter something you haven’t seen before.
